Quark

Isn't Quark some sort of tofu(or something tiny in physics)? I was in
London in November and on the menu posted in the elevator, there was an
item called quark. I have been to England many times( although not as a
vegetarian) and never heard of it. I thought it was some sort of fish
but I asked at the desk and the desk assistant said it was made from
soybeans. Was she right?
